I don’t want to jinx it, but I believe the fog has lifted, albeit temporary.
Such is life.
Today was one of those good mom days. Do you know the ones I’m talking about?
The sky was a perfect blue. The clouds were brilliant white and puffy. You remembered sunscreen. Everyone ate three square meals. Your freshly bathed kid falls asleep quickly with a smile on her face, tired from all the fun you had together.
Yeah. It was one of those days.

FANTASTIC!!! Those days are pretty amazing. I had one, too. My little guy caught his very first firefly. I love good mom days.

The best part about good days is they are infectious on the days that follow. All you gotta do is keep a little bit of today’s sunshine in your pocket for when the clouds start to appear again.

You know the “one day at a time” drill. SO you could probably have seen this GREAT DAY YAY coming but I wanted to put it out there a little extra. YAY!

I’m so happy the fog is lifting at your house.
And I just want to say Thank You for writing your way through. Reading your words is helping me to claw my way out of the depression that has been weighing so heavily on me.

Is that a slip and slide I see in that picture?
If it is you are clearly the most awesome mom ever.
(My mom would never let me have one because somebody could break their arm. Puh-leeze.)

The joy (and the concentration in the one with the hoop) are adorable.
Can I have a day like this please?

Fabulous. For me these days are much easier to find when wet backyard fun is part of the deal too!

You know, not a Mom, so I don’t ACTUALLY know what you’re talking about. But I think that all people have days like that, where it all comes together, and they just do well. I’m glad you had one. Looks like that sweet girl had a good time!

I haven’t commented lately, but you know I follow you religiously, girl! Q has that same bathing suit! And as for good mom day, good for you! After having a succession of bad mom days recently, (and I am talking about me actually) isn’t it a nice change, such a relief?! xoxo
